Roseville Home Start Receives $10K Grant

Roseville, Calif. – Roseville Home Start announced today that it received a grant of $10,000.00 from The Allstate Foundation. The grant will allow Home Start to provide Life Skills Classes and one-on-one budget counseling for formerly homeless families with a history of Domestic Violence (over 90% of our families) participating in Home Start’s Transitional Housing Program.

“With the recent nationwide economic downturn, Home Start has seen individual, foundation, and government funding sources cutting back their grant programs, or suspending them altogether,” said Ann Engelbrecht, Executive Director of Home Start. “We need the support of the community now more than ever.  We thank The Allstate Foundation for choosing Home Start, and supporting our life changing programs for homeless families.”
